Celebrate The Walking Dead at Walker Stalker Con 2014

Walker Stalker Con is this weekend in Boston. It's a perfect destination for fans of the show.Walker Stalker Con

These days, there are conventions for everything. There are anime conventions, video game conventions, conventions for cosplayers, and, of course, Comic-Con. Events like these are a great way to gather with a large group of people that share your interests and celebrate everything that makes whatever it is so great. AMC's The Walking Dead is one of the most popular shows on television right now, so it's no surprise that fans have created a convention focused specifically on the franchise. This weekend in Boston is Walker Stalker Con, and I will be attending the Saturday session to cover the goings-on at this zombie-filled experience.

Walker Stalker Con was started by James and Eric, who host the Walker Stalker Podcast. Since it's inception, the convention has attracted some high-profile guests, both living and dead in terms of their status on the show. This year, the event is made even more special with the inclusion of some members of the original Friday the 13th cast, as well as the fifteenth anniversary screening of The Boondock Saints.

There will be a wide variety of guests from the show attending the convention to participate in panels and sign autographs. Jon Bernthal, who played Shane, is the highlight of the Saturday session, though it also features Jeff Kober from this last season, as well as a few others you'd recognize from the show. You can find more information about the rest of the weekend's guests here.

The show seems like it's going to be a cool experience. There are, of course, vendors and artists in attendance to show off their work, and a Zombie Bash Party that seems to be getting a lot of attention on the site. The show runs from this Friday the 13th through Sunday the 15th in Boston's Waterfront District. If you're a fan of The walking Dead, this is going to be the perfect place to be this weekend. Check back on Monday for my coverage of the show. To get more information about the convention, or to see how you can attend, visit their site here.
